Other exhibits include a two-tiered display from Japanese designer Kazuyuki Ishihara, a repurposed water tower and a floral deconstructed clock. Creations center around the changing climate, the resiliency of horticulture and hydroponics, which grow flowers in water instead of soil. There's also a recycling exhibit using compost from crushed bottles and jars which are turned into sand and added to soil.

Students from Lankenau High School, Mercer County Community College, Lakeside School, Temple University, Delaware Valley University, the University of Delaware, W.B. Saul High School and Bucks County Community College also created displays. 

Tickets for the show start at $49 for adults and $25 for children ages 5 to 17. Discounts are available for students and members of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. This year, the Flower Show also has a Floral Fanatic Pass for daily entry to the event, early morning photography tours and a "Flowers After Hours" dance party.
